Congress Leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy On CM Face Of Telangana

Congress Leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy Defers CM Decision to Party High Command Amidst Telangana Victory
Hyderabad, December 3, 2023 – In the aftermath of the recent electoral success in Telangana, where the Congress secured 64 seats, the question of who will assume the Chief Ministerial role remains uncertain. Congress leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy addressed the query by stating, "MLAs and the party high command will decide. The high command will gather opinions during the CLP meeting, and we will wholeheartedly support whatever decision is reached."

The Congress party's triumph in Telangana, securing 64 seats, establishes a comfortable majority with only 60 seats required. However, the focus has now shifted to the pivotal decision of selecting the Chief Minister, a responsibility that Komatireddy Venkat Reddy insists will be determined collectively.

Reddy's assertion underscores the party's commitment to a democratic decision-making process, where Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) input is considered crucial. The upcoming Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting is anticipated to serve as a platform for the high command to gather diverse perspectives from elected representatives.


As the political landscape in Telangana continues to evolve, the Congress party's internal dynamics will play a pivotal role in shaping the state's governance. The delicate balance between the aspirations of the MLAs and the strategic decisions of the high command will likely define the path forward for the Congress-led government in Telangana.
